Hello i'm a newbie looking to take my game to the next level and would like some advice from some more experienced players. I have been practicing on CV for about 2 years 4-5 hrs a day now (I have a luxury job) while playing in local casinos and usually balancing out with my money (not winning or loosing) on CV I am playing 98-100% correct play keeping the count on hi-lo and using basic deviations keeping the simulated heat low and 100% on betting strategy. I feel i'm not fully using the program to the fullest to maximize my profit in the casino, in your opinion what are some other good tools (on CV or not) to use and how would they be used to the fullest?

My plan is to go play a $5 6:5, H17, DS table with a $600 trip BR making $30 my max bet giving me 20 max bets. Playing nothing more than TC-2 sitting out until the count becomes favorable and TC+2=$10 +3=$20 +4=$30 being max bet. I understand this might be a little aggressive but BJ is not my job and I am fully prepared to work some more and save another BR while continuing to practice. Any advice or tips on how I can maximize my trip would be helpful.

Also I have been looking at shuffle tracing but I'm not understanding it because my understanding is the object is to clump the high cards together which would cause the count to go extremely negative and as a counter I am looking for a positive count. Why would this be beneficial to a counter and is it really worth the time learning?

Thanks for any feedback
